Honky Tonk Man    (1956)

I'm a honky tonk man, and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Hollerin' he-ey momma can your daddy come home?

I'm livin' fast and dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I wanna see the lights of town

Cause I'm a honky tonk man, and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Hollerin' he-ey momma can your daddy come home?

I'm a honky tonk man, and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Hollerin' he-ey momma can your daddy come home?

It takes a purdy little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a moanin' a honky tonk sound
That's when I wanna lay my money down

Cause I'm a honky tonk man, and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Hollerin' he-ey momma can your daddy come home?

Lyrics by Johnny Horton, Tillman Franks and Howard Hausey.
